<poem> | |||
So then you've found your place | |||
You say: | |||
"I wanna be the first stand-up comedian in outer space" | |||
Foot down in a fantastic bird, fantastic bird | |||
Space is gonna thrill you | |||
Space could even kill you | |||
But space will never love you like I do | |||
Reflecting light down to earth | |||
Oh, yes - and then some humor, too | |||
Just enough to make us know we don't miss you | |||
Have you checked suspension in the fantastic bird, fantastic bird? | |||
Science engulfs you | |||
Science then propels you | |||
But science will never love you like I do | |||
What brings you down to earth? | |||
- Oh, yes, of course - | |||
Yes, yes, it was a lack of applause | |||
Scrap metal for a fantastic bird, fantastic bird | |||
Science propelled you | |||
Science still engulfs you | |||
But science will never love you like I do | |||
'Cos when you land | |||
All you want to hear is my voice: | |||
"Hello, well done, I love you" | |||
Don't you see? | |||
Don't you see? | |||
